Brian/Thread:
Below is the response I got from CTRL on my inquiry to them about the Ultraphonics name..........Skane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Sirs,
In response to your inquiry the facts are as follows:
CTRL Systems, Inc. is a private company which manufactures and distributes worldwide several products for non-destructive predictive diagnostics. One of our products is the ULTRAPHONIC TM 101. We purchased the exclusive rights of design, manufacture and the trademark from the original company, Ultraphonics USA. These are uncontested rights from the original developer and owners. CTRL Systems, Inc. has no business relationship or ties to Microphonics, TN. We question under what rights Microphonics, TN produces a similar product with the same name.
You should be aware that CTRL Systems, Inc has filed for a cancellation order to the TTAB concerning the ULTRAPHONIC trademark. The common law rights go back to the first use in 1982 by the original developer, these rights were purchased by CTRL Systems, Inc.
CTRL Systems, Inc. will take all steps necessary to protect its property and trademark rights.
Robert H Roche, President CTRL Systems, Inc. www.ctrlsys.com
PS. I suggest that you pass this on to Mr. Connolly if you can.
